Joint controllership. With regard to the visitor statistics (Page Insights) for our Facebook page, we are joint controllers with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Dublin, Ireland). Meta has assumed primary responsibility for the processing of the statistics and for giving effect to data subjects’ rights. More information: Page Insights Controller Addendum, information about Page Insights data and Meta’s Privacy Policy.
With regard to the visitor statistics (Page Insights) for our LinkedIn page, we are joint controllers with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Dublin, Ireland).

We receive only aggregated data from the visitor statistics and cannot see data about individual persons in them. You can exercise your rights against both us and the service provider concerned, but with regard to the statistics it is often most effective to address your request directly to the service provider. For our Instagram account and YouTube channel, we receive aggregated statistics produced by the services, and Meta and Google process the data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We also use similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage, tracking code and embedded external content. We divide cookies and technologies into strictly necessary, analytics and marketing categories. Analytics and marketing cookies and the related tracking code are switched off by default, and you can accept or reject them in the cookie banner shown on the website. The YouTube videos and Google Maps maps on our pages also load only after you have given your consent (Section 4.5).
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for basic website functions that you have requested. They are used without consent.
- Language selection: remembers the language version you have chosen.
- Quote request basket: session cookies remember the products you have added to the basket so that you can put together a quote request. The lifetimes of the cookies are shown in the cookie list (Section 4.7).
- Storing consent: the CookieScript service stores your cookie choices so that the website complies with them.
To manage consents, we use the CookieScript service, provided by Objectis, UAB (Lithuania) as a processor. To demonstrate consent, the service stores your choices in a cookie. When consent logging is enabled, the service also records the time of consent or its withdrawal, the page on which the choice was made, browser information and a truncated IP address. The service’s code is loaded from CookieScript’s servers, which means that your IP address is transmitted to the service provider. The legal basis for logging consent choices is our obligation to be able to demonstrate that consent has been obtained (Articles 6(1)(c) and 7(1)). The legal basis for loading the service’s code and the associated transmission of your IP address is our legitimate interest in managing consents reliably (Article 6(1)(f)). Consent data is kept for as long as necessary to demonstrate consent. More information: CookieScript’s privacy policy.
4.2 Google Tag Manager and Google Consent Mode
The tracking code on our website is loaded using Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Ireland), which acts as our processor in this respect.
We use Google Consent Mode (v2). By default, all purposes that require consent are blocked until you make your choice. Before consent is given, Google’s tags neither store nor read analytics or advertising cookies. Google may, however, receive cookieless, non-identifying pings, such as the page address, browser type and a timestamp, for the purpose of measuring activity. Your IP address is technically transmitted to Google when the connection is established, but according to Google, Analytics does not log or store it. Once you give consent, the tags operate to the extent of the consent you have given.
- Data: IP address, browser information, page address, referring page, timestamp and the status of your consent choices.
- Purpose: central management of the website’s tracking code, applying your consent choices in the tags, and cookieless measurement of activity before consent.
- Legal basis: our legitimate interest in managing the website’s tags centrally, ensuring that they comply with your consent choices, and obtaining cookieless information about how the website is functioning (Article 6(1)(f)).
- Retention period: according to Google, request logs containing IP addresses are deleted within 14 days. Analytics data is kept as described in Section 4.3.
- Recipients: Google Ireland Limited as our processor (Tag Manager and Analytics). Data sent by Google Ads tags is received by Google as an independent controller (Section 4.4). Recipients also include Google group companies, including in the United States (Section 7).
4.3 Analytics (with consent)
Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how our website is used and to improve it. The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Ireland) as our processor.
- Data: a random identifier stored in a cookie, pages viewed and the referring page, actions taken on the website (for example YouTube video viewing events), device and browser information, and approximate location inferred from the IP address.
- Purpose: compiling statistics on website use and improving the website.
- Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)).
- Retention period: user-level and event-level data for a maximum of 14 months.
- Recipients: Google Ireland Limited and Google group companies, including in the United States (Section 7).

The chat service (Section 3.3) also loads only after analytics consent has been given.

- Data: ad click identifier, conversion events (for example sending a quote request) and their time, page address, referring page, browser information and IP address.
- Purpose: measuring and improving the effectiveness of advertising.
- Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)).

Meta Pixel and Conversions API. We use Meta’s advertising tools to measure and target our advertising shown on Facebook and Instagram. Event data is transmitted to Meta via the Tracklution service, both from the browser and through a server-to-server connection (Conversions API). Meta events require your marketing consent.
- Data: event data, such as page views, adding a product to the quote request basket and chat service events, browser and device information, IP address and cookie identifiers.
- Purpose: measuring the effectiveness of advertising, and targeting and optimising advertising.
- Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)).
- Retention period: cookie lifetimes are shown in the cookie list. Meta retains the data it receives in accordance with its own privacy policy.
- Recipients: Tracklution Oy (Helsinki) as our processor; Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Dublin, Ireland) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (United States).
We are joint controllers with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited with regard to the collection of the data and its transmission to Meta. After the transmission, Meta processes the data as an independent controller for its own purposes. The responsibilities of the parties are set out in Meta’s Controller Addendum. We are responsible for ensuring that our website provides information about the collection of data and its transmission to Meta, and that the processing is based on your consent. You can exercise your rights under the GDPR against both us and Meta (Article 26(3)). More information: Meta’s Controller Addendum, Meta’s Privacy Policy and Tracklution’s privacy policy.
4.5 YouTube and Google Maps embeds
Some of our pages contain embedded YouTube videos, and our contact pages contain an embedded Google Maps map. When an embed loads, your browser connects to Google’s servers. Google then receives, for example, your IP address and the address of the page you are visiting, and may set or read cookies. If you are signed in to your Google account, Google may link the data to your account. Google also processes the data for its own purposes, such as providing and developing its services, preventing misuse and advertising.
The embeds load only after you have given your consent: videos once you have accepted marketing cookies (Targeting) and the map once you have accepted functional cookies (Functionality) in the cookie settings. Until then, a placeholder is shown and no data is transmitted to Google. Videos are embedded in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Some videos on our website are provided as links that open the video on YouTube in a new tab; in that case YouTube processes your data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
- Data: IP address, the address of the page you are visiting, browser information, cookie identifiers, and data about video viewing and map use.
- Purpose: presenting product videos and our location on the website.
- Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)); for cookies and similar technologies, the provisions referred to in Section 4.7.
- Retention period: the lifetimes of cookies detected on the website are shown in the cookie list (Section 4.7). Google retains the data it receives in accordance with its own privacy policy.
- Recipient: Google Ireland Limited (Ireland) and Google group companies, including in the United States (Section 7). More information: Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
4.6 jsDelivr content delivery network
Our website loads some of its technical files, such as stylesheets and code libraries, from the jsDelivr content delivery network. When a file is loaded, your IP address, browser information, the referring page and the time are transmitted to the service provider. The service does not set cookies. jsDelivr is operated by Volentio JSD Limited (United Kingdom), and its content delivery partners include Cloudflare and Fastly (United States). jsDelivr also uses usage data for aggregated statistics. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in delivering the website quickly and reliably (Article 6(1)(f)). jsDelivr keeps usage data temporarily until it has been aggregated into statistics, after which the individual data is deleted. More information: jsDelivr’s privacy policy.
4.7 Legal bases and cookie list
We use strictly necessary cookies without consent because they are essential for providing the service you have requested. We use cookies and similar technologies other than strictly necessary ones, such as analytics and marketing cookies and embedded content, only with your consent. Consent is required in Finland by section 205 of the Act on Electronic Communications Services (917/2014), in Germany by § 25 TDDDG and in Sweden by Chapter 9, section 28 of lagen (2022:482) om elektronisk kommunikation.

If you do not provide this data, we may not be able to enter into a contract or deliver an order. Accepting cookies other than strictly necessary cookies is voluntary, and refusing them does not prevent basic use of the website. However, the chat service is only available if you have accepted analytics cookies; you can always also contact us by email or telephone.
13. Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing of your personal data that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you (Article 22).
14. Data security
We protect personal data with appropriate technical and organisational measures (Article 32). Our website runs in a data centre located in Helsinki and is protected by a firewall and login protection. Access to personal data is restricted to those persons who need the data in their work. Our service providers process data on our behalf only in accordance with contracts and our instructions, and they have undertaken to ensure that the data is protected. If we detect a personal data breach, we will act as required by the GDPR.
15. Changes to this privacy notice
We update this privacy notice when our processing activities, the services we use or legislation change, for example if we introduce a new chat service. The date at the beginning of the notice shows when it was last updated.
